Empowering Broadcasters

disguise empowers broadcasters to achieve next-level real-time graphics in their productions. With disguise’s combination of reliable, scalable hardware together with its Designer software, broadcasters can: Previsualise, plan, design and sequence visuals for any broadcast production, easily swapping and changing elements in their existing running orders Connect directly with Unreal Engine for the creation and delivery of quality, photorealistic graphics Deliver photorealistic content without limitations Streamline internal processes through virtualisation software Manage and collaborate on content for any platform Deliver and align graphics content across multiple channels for both linear and digital broadcasting Access the ACES workflow for consistently high colour quality Use disguise’s cutting edge extended reality (xR) workflow to create immersive 3D virtual real-time environments

Extended Reality (xR) Workflow

disguise’s Extended Reality (xR) workflow represents the next generation of virtual production technology for broadcasters. Combining leading LED technology, advanced camera tracking

and real-time graphics rendering into one seamless workflow, it creates a virtual environment with augmented reality elements visible both live on set and directly in-camera. Through the disguise xR workflow, small studio sets can extend far beyond the walls of the physical studio space allowing broadcasters endless flexibility and possibilities for their productions. disguise xR’s key benefits for broadcasters include: Integration with Unreal Engine

Graphics disguise works closely with Epic

Games. The workflow runs on vanilla Unreal and the open-sourced

RenderStream plugin allows users to seamlessly integrate Unreal Engine into their disguise workflow from day one with minimal configuration

Cluster Rendering for Infinitely

Scalable Content

Cluster rendering unlocks the limitations of a virtual production studio or immersive installations by scaling out real-time content to an unlimited capacity. This is achieved by spanning real-time content over more than one disguise server as each machine renders a fragment of the

final content frame to increase render power. Developed to support Unreal Engine’s nDisplay capabilities, the technology also removes the need to manually configure the nDisplay cluster by allowing it to be automatically set up through the disguise interface Supporting a Wide Range of Broadcast Workflows Through disguise’s recent acquisition of Polygon Labs, users of both disguise and Polygon Labs will soon be able to benefit from easyto-manage, data-driven graphics workflows, as well as extended design and production capability for graphics
